+```
+mepo config set clone.partial blobless

+With this configuration change, the size of the initial clone will be reduced, and additional blobs are fetched later when needed.
 
 ### Step 3: Build the Model
 
 To build the model in a single step, do the following from a head node:
 ```
 cd ./GEOSldas
-parallel_build.csh
+./parallel_build.csh
 ```
 This checks out all the external repositories of the model (albeit only on the first run, [see subsection on mepo below](#mepo)!) and then builds and installs the model. 
 
-At **NCCS**, the default is to build GEOSldas on SLES12 (Skylake or Cascade Lake nodes); to build GEOSldas on SLES15 (Milan nodes), use `parallel_build.csh -mil`.
+The resulting model build is found in `build/`, and the installation is found in `install/`, with setup scripts like `ldas_setup` in `install/bin/`.
